Description
For your consideration, we have a 2001 US Mint Coin from the American Eagle series. Made of fine silver.
ITEM SPECIFICS:
At the dawn of a new century, the American Silver Eagle was soaring high with mintage levels the program hadn’t seen since its first years of production. Celebrating the 15th anniversary of the coins, 2001 American Silver Eagle coins marked a second consecutive year of mintage levels in excess of 9 million coins, the first time in program history that such highs were reached in back-to-back years.
American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins are coins whose weight and purity are guaranteed by the United States Government. They’re also allowed in an IRA. Each coin also contains a minimum of one troy ounce of 99.9% pure silver. The obverse design of the American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins is based on Adolph A. Weinman’s “Walking Liberty” half dollar, produced from 1916 to 1947. It is accordingly considered one of the most beautiful American coins ever minted. During 2021 is when the U.S. Mint marked the 35th anniversary of the American Eagle Coin Program with a refreshed design. Thanks to technological advancements in the design and minting process, the design now encompasses some of Weinman’s original details that were not previously possible.

- Contains 1 oz of .999 pure silver.
- Proof specimens feature a “W” mint mark from the West Point Mint.
